Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-08-31; Filing date: 2026-09-01 (no late filing indicated).
• Transaction type: Award/Grant (derivative) — 9,663 DSUs; price reported as N/A.

• Footnote: Each DSU equals the economic equivalent of one common share and becomes payable (in cash, common shares, or a mix) at BlackBerry’s discretion after the director’s service ends.

Context
DSUs are deferred compensation tied to the company’s stock value and are paid out after the director leaves the board; they are common for non-employee directors and do not reflect an immediate cash inflow or an open‑market investment decision. This award is a routine compensation event rather than a buy/sell signal.
